WHC is a Federally-funded breast and cervical cancer screening program serving low-income, uninsured Idaho women since 1997.
Approximately 4,000 women are served per year– in 2016, the Program expects to exceed this number after adding the 21 – 39 year old age group to the cervical cancer screening eligibility range.
When diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer through WHC enrollment, patients are eligible for Breast and Cervical Cancer (BCC) Medicaid for treatment coverage.
WHC diagnosed 36 women for breast cancer, and 41 women for cervical pre-cancer requiring treatment in 2015.
Since 1997 WHC has provided breast and cervical screening and diagnostic services and patient navigation to more than 61,000 Idaho women. Yet, Idaho remains last or near last in the nation for breast and cervical screening rates.
WHC provides professional development to assure quality screening and patient navigation services.
WHC works with partners and stakeholders to leverage opportunities for collaboration to increase screening rates in Idaho through implementation of evidence-based education and outreach efforts, evaluation and sharing of ideas for improvements in system, policy, and environmental change.

Susan G. Komen Idaho Montana provides breast health education and services to all those living in Idaho and Montana. We work in all areas of the continuum of care including prevention, early detection and screening, treatment and quality of life. Our signature event, Race for the Cure, is held in Boise, Helena, Pocatello (new for 2016), and Coeur d’Alene each year. Join us at Race for the Cure or any of our other community events and get involved with Komen Idaho Montana.
Prevention: Living a healthy lifestyle and getting routine annual screenings are the best way to prevent, or at least detect at an early stage, breast cancer. Komen Idaho Montana encourages everyone to talk to their health care providers about annual mammography and encourages insurances companies to cover annual screenings regardless of age, when a women is working with her provider to determine the best screening schedule for her.
Early Detection and Screening: Seventy-five percent of all money raised by Komen Idaho Montana stays in Idaho and Montana to help fund our mission to end breast cancer forever. From that money Komen Idaho Montana provides community grants throughout Idaho and Montana. These grants focus on increasing access to screening mammograms, increasing access to diagnostic procedures, and providing financial assistance to those in treatment. To date Komen Idaho Montana has granted more than $6.9 million in community grant programs.
Treatment: Twenty-five percent of all money raised by Komen Idaho Montana goes to the Komen National Research Grant Portfolio to fund ground-breaking and life-saving research. Research grants are focused on treatment programs, stage IV/metastatic breast cancer, and general breast cancer research. Since 2000, Komen Idaho Montana has donated over $2.2 million to breast cancer research.
Quality of Life: Komen Idaho Montana has been a longtime supporter of survivorship programs to help transition women from treatment to life after breast cancer. Komen Idaho Montana helps facilitate support groups and funds many survivorship programs throughout Idaho and Montana.

Komen Grant: PHD saw a reduction in Komen funding from the previous year which means we are currently out resources for those who are 45-49 and are in need of routine screening.
Women’s Health Check: As of December 2015, PHD has enrolled 352 women into Women’s Health Check. Of the 30% of enrollments which are allotted for women ages 21-39, we are 60% through that funding.
Mammography Screenings: Through partnership with Heritage Health and Panhandle Health’s focus on women’s health and increasing mammography screenings, Providence Women’s Health Center Mobile Mammography Coach will now visit outlying clinics in Shoshone County for the first time in an areas where no mammography services currently exist.
PHD/CARE Foundation Cancer Prevention Project (coordinated by Erin Whitehead, HES): In December and January, Cancer Advisory Board Members conducted one-on-one interviews with area oncologists, radiologists, treatment providers, primary physicians, dermatologists, dietitians, social workers, patient navigators, current cancer patients, and cancer survivors to determine and assess what current resources exist for cancer care in North Idaho and identify barriers to access and preventative care/screenings. In January, PHD brought a B.S. student intern on board for the Cancer Prevention Project. The intern began creating a research design and compiling a list of all of the cancer resources in the five northern counties. We hope to put this information in one source, such as a website, that can be easily accessible to all providers and the community, at large. Interns are compiling cancer prevalence and risk factor data for all five northern counties. In February, plan to meet with Northwest Specialty Hospital and Cancer Care Northwest to discuss voucher program to help their low-income patients pay for their medical bills. Plan to bring on MPH student from Eastern Washington University to work with B.S. student in research design as well as in conducting more one-on-one interviews with people in or previously in treatment. Plan focus group discussions to be conducted before March 25th.
Colorectal Cancer: PHD working on taking the 80% by 2018 pledge with its employees with goal to promote and track screening of eligible employees (aged 50-75) for CRC. Natalie Colla (Comprehensive Cancer Control Contract Coordinator) to facilitate. PHD conducting provider outreach with various clinics to implement QI processes for improving CRC screening rates in primary care.

Southwest District Health (SWDH) has provided healthcare to women, including breast health care, for over 40 years. Women with marginal resources are primary customers of services, with nearly 50% being Hispanic. This has provided a foundation for the success in SWDH breast and cervical cancer program. Over the years funding from the Women’s Health Check program has helped bridged the gap in the districts efforts to provide community based breast and cervical cancer screening for women who meet the eligibility guidelines. SWDH has developed strong partnerships with providers within the districts, including mammogram facilities. Additionally we network with mobile units to improve access to screening throughout the district. Since 2013, Sixteen uninsured low income women have been diagnosed with breast cancer through the Women’s Health Check program. Without this vital program, these women would have not received services which would have put them at great risk for mortality. Many of our women have verbalized a great appreciation for the benefits this program affords.

The Idaho Oral Health Program (IOHP) works with partners and health champions from across the state to promote the prevention and screening/early detection of oral and oropharyngeal cancer. One of the ways it specifically works towards this is by providing free educational materials to both dental and medical professionals. Some of the free educational materials available include a brochure on oral cancer that was developed in collaboration with Project Filter and the Comprehensive Cancer Program, oral cancer fact sheets, and tobacco cessation materials.
In addition to the free educational materials, the IOHP has included the following goals and strategies around preventing oral and oropharyngeal cancer in the 2015-2020 Idaho Oral Health Action Plan:
Increase the number of oral health professionals conducting oral and oropharyngeal cancer screenings during routine preventive oral healthcare visits.
Develop and disseminate culturally appropriate, targeted health messages about the risks associated with tobacco, alcohol and substance abuse, and the link to poor oral health, including oral and oropharyngeal cancer and rampant tooth decay.
Promote third party payer funding of oral health prevention activities/services by both dental and medical professionals.
The IOHP has also recently joined efforts with the Idaho Immunization Program and other programs to help increase the number of adolescents who receive the HPV vaccination.
If your organization would like to partner with the IOHP on the prevention and screening/early detection of oral and oropharyngeal cancer, please contact Angie Bailey, Program Manager, at [email protected].
